Police: North Liberty man's fingerprints on meth ingredients

A North Liberty man faces felony charges after police found his fingerprints on ingredients used to make meth.

According to North Liberty police complaints, members of the Johnson County Drug Task Force served a search warrant April 7 of a residence at 1257 Slothhower Ave. in Iowa City and found multiple meth labs and precursor materials.

Fingerprints found on lithium and pseudoephedrine, items used in the manufacturing of methamphetamine, led police to arrest 32-year-old Clinton R. Lake, of Golfview Court in North Liberty, according to police.

Police say a witness identified Lake as being at the Iowa City residence while meth was being cooked.

Lake was booked Tuesday afternoon in the Johnson County Jail. He has been charged with possession of pseudoephedrine and possession of lithium, both class D felonies.
